For you that have the blood of Jesus running through your veins because you have been born again, not of the will of man but of the will of God. For you blood bought saints of God, fear not! I will say it again, fear not! The vindication of God is not against you, it is for you. God is vindicating His people, He is delivering His family, He is restoring His nations. The Lord is not coming to harm you, destroy you or punish you, He is coming to deal with the sons of His ancient enemies. The sons of Egypt and the sons of Babylon are being dealt with by the Lord.

I was reading in Jeremiah 52 this morning and Jehoiachin, after 37 years of Babylonian exile is restored on the 25th day of Adar. That date stuck out to me, so I began some research on it and it led me to the Torah reading fo that day, long story short, this is a nod to the Passover in Exodus 12. So I get to the Passover story and the Lord says, “This is what I am doing in your day!” Exodus 12 “For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments—I am the LORD. The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.” God is executing judgment against the gods of Egypt and Babylon again, He is vindicating His people both Jews and Gentiles who have the blood of Jesus running through their veins. My friends, there is nothing to fear, the judgement is here but it is not judgement for you, it is judgment on the gods of Egypt and Babylon.

This is reason to rejoice, to celebrate, to smile, to lift up your heads so you can see your help is on the way. The Lord has seen what our task masters have done to us, He has not igonored the injustices that have occurred, He is fully aware of more than we are even aware of and He is vindicating His nations. I heard someone say the other day, the battle has been won we are just waiting for the revealed victory parade. Shalom my friends, shalom, the Lord is fighting for us not against us!
